A bit of a rush at the end, and some of the things were resolved a bit too smoothly, especially compared to how hard things were in the rest of the story, but overall not really bad.
The problem isn't Futaba getting a happy endingPossibly an unpopular opinion, but I'm glad Futaba is (presumably) going to get a happy end out of this too.
It doesn't fully sit right with me considering what she did in the previous loop but Yotsuha and Uichi chose to forgive her, even if that forgiveness seems a bit unearned.Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I'm glad Futaba is (presumably) going to get a happy end out of this too.
Oh, I wasn't speaking in terms of what was a problem or not, I just thought people would generally be out for Futaba's blood, or at least actively uninterested in good things happening to her.The problem isn't Futaba getting a happy ending
The problem is that it feels rushed and unearned and the last few chapters were just talk no Jutsu
To me, this is one of the most interesting things about time travel stories. Perhaps the manipulative murderer Futaba from the timeline we saw the most doesn't deserve forgiveness or a happy ending. But that Futaba has been completely erased from existence by the time travel; we have a different Futaba now, one that hasn't done anything of the awful things Manipulative Murderer Futaba did. Is this newest Futaba obligated to bear the sins of a previous version of her future self, one of which she has no memory?It doesn't fully sit right with me considering what she did in the previous loop but Yotsuha and Uichi chose to forgive her, even if that forgiveness seems a bit unearned.
I don't think it's really fair or reasonable to hold a child who doesn't seem to be much older than eight or nine for actions she has not taken and harm she hasn't committed, which is the position Yotsuha and Uichi seem to have taken as well.It doesn't fully sit right with me considering what she did in the previous loop but Yotsuha and Uichi chose to forgive her, even if that forgiveness seems a bit unearned.
It just feels rushed because we could read so many chapters all at once.The manga ran for the whooping 106 chapters, and the ending is so rushed it feels like an axe
The lack of honest communication was the deep-rooted flaw.Not as bad as I feared, but I'm still disappointed by the ending so far. Feels like a lot of deep rooted issues are being solved just by one talk with the person, which feels incongruous with the rest of the series. Also, I kind of liked the idea that Futaba WAS incompetent in some ways, but, no, we're just getting her being a super genius again without addressing her flaws.
No, I think Dr Futatsugi going his whole life faking his personality thinking he's fundamentally unlovable and the mother feeling estranged from her own daughter enough to say she might not be able to love her were the deep rooted flaws. Neither of which I think could be solved with a single "talk it out" session, mind youThe lack of honest communication was the deep-rooted flaw.
It makes for a better paced story, but a worse one. A better writer would manage to both. Everyone is taking it way too easy for the sake of reaching a conclusion, when previously they were acting somehow realistically.Better to have all the characters quickly go along with it rather than moping, second guessing and dragging it out.
